Hello-
Reporting a daytime possible Chupacabra sighting in Southwest Arkansas between White Cliffs Recreational Area and Ben Lomond on State Highway 317. About 5 minutes from White Cliffs on HWY 317 is where the actual sighting occurred (33 degrees 47'33.69"N by 94 degrees 03'18.45"W).
My brother and I were riding our motorcycles leaving White Cliffs recreational area in Southwest Arkansas. About 5 minutes from White Cliffs on HWY 317 my brother who was leading pointed to his left as we were riding. We both saw a dog like animal crossing the highway in front of us and running along a tree line to our left. We slowed and had visual for approximately 5 seconds. During the sighting my mind was trying to process and categorize what I was looking at. It was dog like in appearance but had a few things that were not right for any domestic dog, coyote, or wolf, or any exotic animal I was aware of. It was basically hairless and grey in color with a large head and long tail. As my mind attempted to process what I had seen I quickly ruled out domestic dogs, African animals etcetera. This thing was like nothing we have ever seen. Even a domestic dog, wolf or coyote that had mange and was hairless would still not have the head and tail that this thing had. After we got home we described the animal to my brother's wife, she said jokingly that we must have seen a Chupacabra. I Googled Chupacabra on the internet and to our surprise the photos we were seeing matched our mystery animal! I don't know if this is some unknown species or freak of nature but I can say with certainty that there are some strange K9 creatures out there. I have seen one!

I believe I have seen a Chupacabra 4 times now. Tonight was the first time I saw one up relatively close while out on a walk in twilight. I do not wish to see these creatures destroyed our hurt and therefore would want to know your intentions before I tell you more. I live in Florida in the north not far from Georgia.

I found this animal outside in my front yard this afternoon (6/23/11).
From looks of it, I do believe that it is El Chupacabra. It greatly
resembles all the pictures I have seen on the internet from Animal
Planet and the History Channel. The ones on the internet were found in Texas, but I live in South Alabama. If you have any information please email back. Thanks. CA June 21, 2011

Hello, I am not sure who this is actually going to, but I have a friend
on facebook that posted a picture today. She was asking if anyone had
ever seen or would know what the animal was. My husband and I watched a
show about the chupacabra sightings and I thought it looked a little
like it. Anyhow If you would like to know anything futher I would let
her know. I did attach the picture she posted I am not sure exactly
where it was taken or even what it is.

I live in North Alabama, and got curious about this animal while watching a TV show on the subject. I searched it on the internet and came upon this site. The pictures the lady (Lisa) took in her back yard in Alabama, look exactly like what I saw.
Last summer while returning from a trip from Montgomery, Al., I was driving on I65 northbound. I was about halfway between Montgomery and Birmingham, when I saw this animal in the median. It was about 10:00 am on a sunny day. The animal was in the grass of the median, which also contained a narrow section of woods. It was feeding on roadkill which appeared to be a deer. I was shocked at what I saw! I first thought it could be a dog, but it seemed to be hairless and had a strange shaped head. I realized it was not a dog, but I didn't know what it was. The size of the animal, I would say would be slightly larger than a yearling size deer.
I wanted to turn around and go back and get a picture, but it would have been several miles of driving, exiting the Interstate and going back to back track. I decided it would probably be gone by the time I could get back to that location. I'm really curious to know what part of Alabama the pictures Lisa took came from, to know if it was the same area.
I don't know that this information will be of any assistance but I wanted to let it be know. You may contact me by email if I can help anymore. My son lives in Florida and I make the trip to Montgomery to pick him up several times a year. I've pointed out the spot where I saw the animal too him, and we bring it up now every time we go by it.
Sincerely,
Mike

- It was completely hairless- which gave me concerns for sarcoptic or red mange. I looked for evidence of mange which would include red spots on the skin similar to a rash, or irritated areas of the skin, signs of scratching, thickened and scaly skin... And there was none other than fly strike (bites on the edges of the ears) which is common in many species of animals in our area during summer (humid) months.
- The animal had a tail much like an opossum. The tail was long and very thin with no hair.
- The animal weighed between 15-20 lbs and was female with evidence of recently nursing offspring (although she no longer had "bags"). It was no doubt a mammal.
- The rear legs were much longer in comparison to the fore legs. The paws were unusual with digits that were extremely long and slender and spread with little to no webbing between them, and the nails were pointed straight out rather than with curvature towards the ground that would wear with ground contact. They reminded me of a raccoon's paws.
- The animal seemed to be in good body condition with no sign of emaciation. There was a pronounced curvature (rounding of the spine) of the spine with bony processes protruding.
- The animals skull was very unusual being broad across from eye socket to socket (similar to a pit bull) with little slope from the top of the skull to the end of the nose. There was almost no definition for the eye sockets.
- The animal had very strange teeth that were much like a puppies "needle" teeth but were extremely long. They were also spaced out. The animal was not a young animal and would not have had baby teeth. The canine teeth were about 1 1/4 inch on top and very slender. The bottom jaw was very short coming at least 1/2 inch to 1 inch short of meeting the top jaw at the nose.
